Hey guys – did you all enjoy your weekend? We had a pretty fun one, especially because my kiddos had no homework to mess with since they’re (finally!) on the home stretch before finishing up school this week. In just a few days, it’s going to feel like summer has officially begun!

So are you ready to kick off your week with a little randomness because I’ve got a bunch of quick little things to share, including an awesome pillow giveaway at the end!! First off, I LOVE this idea from Emily Clark of creating a summer mantel with pineapple plants (along with the cutest little milk glass vases!):

Beautiful, right?! And I love that it’s so simple because who has time for complicated in the summer? Emily also shared a genius new-to-me trick for turning a pineapple into a potted tropical plant – check out her trick and see more pics of her stunning summer mantel {here}.

Now on to a few new finds I came across over the weekend that I’m totally crushing on. For one, Celerie Kemble has a new wallpaper book and I’ve fallen hard for her new Wicker Stripe wallpaper (it comes in several different color ways but of course I’m all about the black and white!):

And while I have absolutely no good place whatsoever for them, I’m in love with RH’s new Bistro Globe Sconces that come in both single and double versions. So cool! I’m counting on one of you to have a great place to put them and send me pictures of your fabulous new sconces so I can live vicariously through you, ok?!

I also wanted to share that the wooden arrow from Urban Outfitters that I painted and used in my gallery wall is on sale for $9.99 – I’ve had a lot of you guys ask me where it came from so now’s your chance to get it on the cheap! Update: it’s now sold out

And finally….the pillow giveaway! Have you guys heard of California Livin Home on Etsy? It’s a super cute shop owned by the talented Sharon who has a background in Fashion Design and a love for all things fabric. Her pillow covers are hand made from her home studio in beautiful Southern California and I’m so happy to have her join the Driven by Decor family as our newest sponsor!

Unfortunately, the Matouk Design & Win Your Dream Bed Giveaway is now over but you can still visit Matouk and design your own bed using their fun online design tool! For many of us, our bedrooms are among the most neglected, undecorated spaces in our homes. And if you saw my bedroom, it wouldn’t take you long to figure out that “many of us” includes me. Cloud blue faux finish walls, missing pillow shams (I stole them for our guest room), and a rug that’s begging to be replaced are a few of the highlights of this oh-so-heinous space that hasn’t been touched since we moved […]
